The function kvmppc_set_arch_compat() is used to determine the value of the
processor compatibility register (PCR) for a guest running in a given
compatibility mode. There is currently no support for v3.00 of the ISA.

Add support for v3.00 of the ISA which adds an ISA v2.07 compatilibity mode
to the PCR.

We also add a check to ensure the processor we are running on is capable of
emulating the chosen processor (for example a POWER7 cannot emulate a
POWER8, similarly with a POWER8 and a POWER9).

Based on work by: Paul Mackerras [off-list ref]

I would suggest adding here:

/* Dummy value to be used until a successor to POWER9 appears */
#define PCR_ARCH_300 (PCR_ARCH_207 << 1)

 static int kvmppc_set_arch_compat(struct kvm_vcpu *vcpu, u32 arch_compat)

I don't think you need this last case because we refuse to run on any
CPU that doesn't at least have CPU_FTR_ARCH_206 - see
kvmppc_core_check_processor_compat_hv().

This is probably worth a comment.  Something like "This sets each bit
for which guest_pcr_bit <= bit < host_pcr_bit."
